Brad Pitt

The son of a trucking company manager, Brad Pitt was born December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, OK. Raised in Missouri as the oldest of three children, and brought up in a strict Baptist household, Pitt enrolled at the University of Missouri, following high school graduation, studying journalism and advertising. However, after discovering his love of acting, he dropped out of college two credit hours before he could graduate and moved to Hollywood. Once in California, Pitt took acting classes and supported himself with a variety of odd jobs that included chauffeuring strippers to private parties, waiting tables, and wearing a giant chicken suit for a local restaurant chain. His first break came when he landed a small recurring role on Dallas, and a part in a teenage-slasher movie, Cutting Class (1989) (opposite Roddy McDowall), marked his inauspicious entrance into the world of feature films. The previous year, Pitt's acting experience had been limited to the TV movie A Stoning in Fulgham County (1988). 1991 marked the end of Pitt's obscurity, as it was the year he made his appearance in Thelma & Louise (1991) as the wickedly charming drifter who seduces Geena Davis and then robs her blind. After becoming famous practically overnight, Pitt unfortunately chose to channel his newfound celebrity into Ralph Bakshi's disastrous animation/live action combo Cool World (1992). Following this misstep, Pitt took a starring role in director Tom Di Cillo's independent film Johnny Suede. The film failed to score with critics or at the box office and Pitt's documented clashes with the director allegedly inspired Di Cillo to pattern the character of the vain and egotistical Chad Palomino, in his 1995 Living in Oblivion, after the actor. Pitt's next venture, Robert Redford's lyrical fly-fishing drama A River Runs Through It (2002), gave the actor a much-needed chance to prove that he had talent in addition to physical appeal.Following his performance in Redford's film, Pitt appeared in Kalifornia and True Romance (both 1993), two road movies featuring fallen women and violent sociopaths. Pitt's next major role did not arrive until early 1994, when he was cast as the lead of the gorgeously photographed Legends of the Fall. As he did in A River Runs Through It, Pitt portrayed a free-spirited, strong-willed brother, but this time had greater opportunity to further develop his enigmatic character. Later that same year, fans watched in anticipation as Pitt exchanged his outdoorsy persona for the brooding, gothic posturing of Anne Rice's tortured vampire Louis in the film adaptation of Interview With the Vampire. Pitt next starred in the forgettable romantic comedy The Favor (1994) before going on to play a rookie detective investigating a series of gruesome crimes opposite Morgan Freeman in Seven (1995). In 1997, Pitt received a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a visionary mental patient in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys; the same year, Pitt attempted an Austrian accent and put on a backpack to play mountaineer Heinrich Harrar in Seven Years in Tibet. The film met with mixed reviews and generated a fair amount of controversy, thanks in part to the revelation that the real-life Harrar had in fact been a Nazi. Following Tibet, Pitt traveled in a less inflammatory direction with Alan J. Pakula's The Devil's Own, in which he starred with fellow screen icon Harrison Ford. Despite this seemingly faultless pairing, the film was a relative critical and box-office failure. In 1998, Pitt tried his hand at romantic drama, portraying Death in Meet Joe Black, the most expensive non-special effects film ever made. Pitt's penchant for quirk was prevalent with his cameo in the surreal comic fantasy Being John Malkovich (1999) and carried over into his role as Tyler Durden, the mysterious and anti-materialistic soap salesman in David Fincher's controversial Fight Club the same year. The odd characterizations didn't let up with his appearance as

Quotes from Brad Pitt's Characters

Its not in my nature to be mysterious, but I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why.

Tristan Ludlow:

You guys look like a bunch of ice cream cones.

Driver:

You hear that line? Line's for you.

Jackie:

Don't make me laugh. "We're one people". It's a myth created by Thomas Jefferson.

Driver:

Oh, so now you're gonna have a go at Jefferson, huh?

Jackie:

My friend, Jefferson's an American saint because he wrote the words, " All men are created equal", words he clearly didn't believe, since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He was a rich white wine snob who was sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So yeah, he wrote some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went out and died for those words, while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl.

Roland:

You want to hurt me? Hurt me.

Daisy:

Would you still love me if I were old and saggy?

Benjamin Button:

Would you still love me if I were young and had acne? When I'm afraid of what's under the stairs? Or if I end up wetting the bed?

Wardaddy:

Benjamin Button:

When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab, was blocked by a delivery truck, all the while Daisy was gettin' dressed. The delivery truck pulled away and the taxi was able to move, while Daisy, last to be dressed, waited for one of her friends, who had broken a shoelace. While the taxi was stopped, waitin' for a traffic light, Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater. And if only one thing had happened differently; if that shoelace hadn't broken; or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier; or that package had been wrapped and ready, because the girl hadn't broken up with her boyfriend; or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes later; or that taxi driver hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee; or that woman had remembered her coat, and got into an earlier cab, Daisy and her friend would've crossed the street, and the taxi would've driven by.

Wardaddy:

Best job I ever had!

Lt. Aldo Raine:

You know, Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece.

Johnny Suede:

Suede is a funny thing. It's rough, but soft. It's strong, but quiet, and doesn't wrinkle, and doesn't crack. And doesn't stand out so much in a crowd of leather and vinyl.You don't notice it a first. But once you do, you can't take your eyes off of it and you wonder how in the hell you ever overlooked it in the first place.

Westray:

If your definition of a friend is someone who will die for you, then you don't have any friends.

Come on, honey. Come to daddy.

Jane Smith:

Who's your daddy now?

Tyler Durden:

What's that smell?

Jerry Welbach:

I need a lift in your el truck-o to the next town-o!

J.D.:

Well, I've always believed that if done properly, armed robbery doesn't have to be an unpleasant experience.

Bass:

Laws change. Social systems crumble. Universal truths are constant. It is a fact - it is a plain fact that what is true and right is true and right for all. White and black alike.

Thelma Dickinson:

You're a real live outlaw, aren't ya?

J.D.:

Well, I may be an outlaw, darlin', but, you're the one stealin' my heart.

Emotion transcends language.

Jerry Welbach:

Benjamin Button:

But life bein' what it is - a series of intersectin' lives and incidents, out of anyone's control - that taxi did not go by, and that driver was momentarily distracted, and that taxi hit Daisy, and her leg was crushed.

Benjamin Button:

The taxi had to stop for a man crossin' the street, who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did, because he forgot to set off his alarm. While that man, late for work, was crossin' the street, Daisy had finished rehearsin', and was takin' a shower. And while Daisy was showerin', the taxi was waitin' outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package, which hadn't been wrapped yet, because the girl was supposed to wrap it, who had broken up with boyfriend the night before and forgot.

Benjamin Button:

Sometimes we're not on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it. A woman in Paris was on her way to go shoppin', but, she had forgotten her coat - went back to get it. When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung, so she'd stopped to answer it; talked for a couple of minutes. While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsin' for a performance at the Paris Opera House. And while she was rehearsin', the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi. Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier and had stopped to get a cup of coffee. And all the while, Daisy was rehearsin'. And this taxi driver, who dropped off the earlier fare; who stopped to get a cup of coffee, had picked up the lady who was goin' shoppin', and had missed gettin' an earlier cab.
